Documents / FOIA release
This is a Central Intelligence Agency memorandum dated 4 January 1965 from Donald F. Chamberlain of the Office of Scientific Intelligence to the Assistant Director for Special Activities. It reviews an incident on 19 November 1964 in which a US Navy F-8C pilot reported a delta-shaped object faster than Mach 3. The memo concludes that there was no ultra-high-speed UFO. The object was probably a high-performance fighter, possibly a MiG-21 on reconnaissance. The file also includes a 1958 memo that refers reported UFO photography to the Air Force.

MUSEUM FOR Director, Photographic Intelligence Center : Reported Photography of UFO's : Your Name PIC-7-58, dated 1 October 1958, Subject 1. Your reference interesting memorandum has been reviewed thoroughly within this Office. Although my Applied Science Division assumes responsibility for UFO's, I considered it appropriate to refer this case to the Air Force wherein primary responsibility lies. Referral was accomplished by forwarding a copy of your memorandum to AFCEI. 2. Your third paragraph opens an interesting question to which I am not at all certain I have the solution. Nevertheless, for you to procure Mr. Fine's photographs and determine more short his experiments, my suggestions are: 2. feet approach him perhaps as one interested in studying graphic research. b. that you seek advice from the AD/0 relative to other avenues of approach with which he may well be familiar.
